I have the same attitude col, take it for what it is. What I do object to is when questioned about the project no mention was made of the previous films existence, or that it was based on a very interesting novel. If you read the press statements you were made to believe the film was a unique piece of work.
I will say that Mr. Smiths performance was one of his best in the first hour or so, but then got lost in the worst use of CGI I've witnessed for a long time and a sloppy ending!
especially when Will Smith was doing his chin ups Saw it at the weekend and was reasonably impressed though plot was full of holes (i.e. most distingusihed scientist with the best hope for a cure AND also under military law was allowed to remain in a desolate New York rather than in some kind of survivors' camp to work on his vaccine?)
But main reason for this post was to ask if anyone has ever heard of a novel called 'Hammerfall'. No idea of the author but probably American and written I would think in mid 1970s. It is another end-of-the-world survivalist story which I read while on exercise in the army. It was an excellent 'exercise' book; meaty, long and interesting while not difficult to read. I've always fancied re-reading it but have never come across it despite the occasional internet trawl etc. Anyone know anymore about it?
